Is Vlad Totally Mad?

Putin’s Desperate Hours Are going from bad to worse, and folks wish he will soon fall out of a Kremlin window in Moscow, Russia.

“The Russian invasion of Ukraine is a blatant violation of the United Nations Charter and international law. It has unleashed widespread death, destruction and displacement,” 

For Russia, it’s been a year of bold charges and bombardments, humiliating retreats, and grinding sieges. Ukraine has countered with fierce resistance, a stunning counteroffensive, and unexpected hit-and-run strikes.  https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-what-lies-ahead-49dbadd89…

Tens of thousands of lives have been lost as the war in Ukraine is now reaching the one-year mark. It has reinforced some old lessons and suggested some new ones about what makes for battlefield success in the 21st century. 
After Putin’s invasion marks twelve months, he appears to find lots of eggs and feces on his tiny face as the world watches.

The message from the Russian people should be loud and clear. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life and think you are Peter the great.

Putin, in recent days, has cast the war in a historical context, referring to countries adjacent to the country as initially Russian land. Analysts have warned Russia is ramping up for a renewed offensive while questioning its remaining military capacity.  See photos from a year of war here (warning—sensitive content).

Where Is Vlad’s Mind? Putin’s anti-Western speech elicited eye rolls, even at the Kremlin.
